My proposal to MPs and elections candidates re Education.
Dear MPs
Deeply thankful for those who responded to mt previous email. Well done to those that are genuine interested.
For every list MP, and for every electorate MP you need to know the current state of education in NZ.
Those that have replied are stunned that the top 50 NZ high schools have an average of 85.6% of their leavers with University Entrance.
They are also stunned that the bottom 50 NZ highschools have an average of 4.8% of their leavers with University Entrance.
Schools, community organisations and MPs are also stunned that the 2025 leavers data will show that we now have 20% of our school leavers have no qualifications at all. Ministry papers also predict that the new qualifications framework will have a negative impact on the achievements of students from marginalised demographics.
As you head to the stage to defend/promote education policies … you need the most up to date data.
Please be in touch if you are actually interested in the young people of NZ. To many of you have your head in the sand …. our up your butt.
